Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

but rather my joy; joy that comes, not from their accomplishment, per se, but that we now both share a new idea or acquaintance.

Kind of a mind to mind to mind meeting!

Karen,
This is a really great observation! When supernatural joy imbues the spirit of the home and the learning takes place within that atmosphere, ideas are shared. You've articulated one of the aspects of a CM education that has always been so delightful to me - and that is the learning alongside. It does make it less *show-and-tell* and more *shared learning*.

Just piping in to say these videos are so fantastic! I wish I had seen them years ago. They clarify so many of CM's ideas and also confirm specific ways of relating to children as a homeschool parent that I have found (the hard way) to be supportive, encouraging, and positive. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series.
